Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] use mailmap by default in git log
Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2019 12:26:23 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190711172626.16480-1-ariadne@dereferenced.org> (raw)
It is not uncommon for people to change their name or e-mail address.
To facilitate this, Git provides support for the `.mailmap` file,
which contains a list of identities and previously used e-mail
addresses that are associated with that identity.
Unfortunately, while Git's support for the `.mailmap` file is generally
excellent, I recently discovered that `git log` does not treat the
mail map file the same as the other tools, instead requiring an
explicit flag to use the mailmap file.
I believe this is an unfortunate flaw, as the mailmap file should
ideally contain the most current known contact information for a
contributor, allowing anyone to contact the contributor about their
patches in the future.
New in version 2:
- The `--no-use-mailmap` option, which complements `--use-mailmap`.
- Tests for `--no-use-mailmap`.
Ariadne Conill (3):
log: use mailmap by default
log: add --no-use-mailmap option to complement --use-mailmap option
tests: add test for git log --no-use-mailmap
